BAC TSR-2

BAC TSR-2, British Aircraft Corporation tarafından geliştirilen Birleşik Krallık yapımı bir jet saldırı ve keşif uçağıydı. Uçak, 1950 ve 1960'larda geliştirilmiş olup hem konvansiyonel hem de nükleer silah nakliyesi için tasarlanmıştı: düşük irtifalarda ve çok yüksek hızlarda iyi savunulan ön cephe bölgelerine nüfuz etmek ve ardından arka bölgelerdeki yüksek değerli hedeflere saldırmaktı. Bir diğer amaçlanan muharebe rolü ise yüksek irtifa, yüksek hızlı mesafe, yandan bakan radar ve fotoğrafik görüntü ve sinyal istihbaratı, hava keşfi sağlamaktı. Sadece bir prototipi uçtu ve tasarım sırasında test uçuşları ve ağırlık artışı uçağın orijinal katı tasarım özelliklerini karşılayamayacağını gösterdi. Tasarım özellikleri uçuş testlerinin sonucu olarak azaltıldı.

TSR-2, sürekli artan maliyetlerin ve Birleşik Krallık'ın gelecekteki savunma ihtiyaçları konusunda servis içi çekişmelerin kurbanı oldu ve bu da 1965'te programın iptal edilmesine yönelik tartışmalı karara yol açtı. Çeşitli arayışların ardından yerine Panavia Tornado geliştirildi ve hizmete alındı.
